I Want You Back

Uh-huh huh huh huh
Let me tell ya now
Uh-huh

VERSE 1:
When I had you to myself
I didn't want you around
Those pretty faces always made you stand out in a crowd
But someone picked you from the bunch
one glance was all it took
Now it's much too late for me to take a second look

CHORUS:
Oh baby give me one more chance
(show you that I love you)
Won't you please let me
(back in your heart)
Oh darlin' I was blind to let you go
(let you go baby)
But now since I see you in his arms
(I want you back)
Yes I do now
(I want you back)
Ooh ooh baby
(I want you back)
Ya ya ya ya
(I want you back)
Na na na na

VERSE 2:
Tryin' to live without your love
Is one long sleepless night
Let me show you girl
That I know wrong from right
Every street you walk on
I leave tearstains on the ground
Following the girl
I didn't even want around
Let me tell you now

CHORUS:
Oh baby all I need is one more chance
(show you that I love you)
Won't you please let me
(back to your heart)
Oh darlin' I was blind to let you go
(let you go baby)
But now since I see you in his arms

Uh-huh
A buh buh buh buh (2 times)
All I want
A buh buh buh buh
All I need
A buh buh buh buh
All I want
A buh buh buh buh
All I need

(Jermaine):
Oh just one more chance
to show you that I love you
baby! (6 times)

(I want you back)
(Jackie):
Forget what happened then
(I want you back)
(Jermaine):
Let me live again

Oh baby I was blind to let you go
But now since I see you in his arms
(I want you back)
(Jackie):
Spare me of this cause
(Jermaine):
Gimme back what I lost

Oh baby I need one more chance ha
I tell ya that I love you

Chained

Seems like yesterday
You were in my arms
And in a special way
You touched my heart with all your charms.
Now you're gone
And I find myself
Baby, I'm all alone
And there's no love left.

Hey! Hey!

Don't know why I failed.
For you I've always cared
And I did all I know
To win your love and make it so
You'd always stay
But you turned away.
Honey, what could I say?
How could you
How could you do me this way?

Cuz I'm chained
To your love and affection.
Chained cuz your love
Is my only direction

Huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh.
I've got to make it right
Somehow it all went wrong

Somewhere down the line
The love I lost
The love I gotta find
Whoah! and it won't be long
I've gotta make it right baby
And carry you tenderly back home.
I'm chained
To your love and affection.
Baby, chained to your love.
When I hear your name
How I tremble, how I tremeble, yeah.
Honey, you know, honey, you know, yeah.

Now I admit that I
Haven't been the perfect guy
For a girl as sweet as you
But my heart and soul cries out to you.

One more chance that's all I need
I'm gonna make it right, baby,
Now you just stay won't you stay with me?

Cuz I'm chained
To your love and afection.
Baby, I'm chained cuz your love
Is my only direction.
I'm chained...

One More Chance

Everybody loves the star
When he's on the top
But noone ever comes around
When he starts to drop

But you were someone special
You stuck through thick and thin
But I was much too busy
Trying to shine
To let your love shine in

Let you slip away
I must have been insane
Stop in the name of love
Don't make me live my life in vain

(Chorus)
Give me one more chance
That's all I ask of you
Just one more chance
I'll make it up to you
Just one more chance
That's all I ask of you
I'll build you a world for two
I'll make it up to you

Now since I'm all alone
I'm talking to myself
I know you're out there somewhere
Having fun with someone else

But a distant voice of hope
Echo from within, sayin'
(Don't give up)
(Your ship is comin' in)

Though my ship's alone
I'll play right to the end
I'm crying outside
heaven's door
Won't you let me back in

You'll never know
What I've been through
Let your love shine in again
This time I'll shine with you

Enjoy Yourself

Chorus:
Enjoy yourself
Enjoy yourself
Enjoy yourself with me

Enjoy yourself
Enjoy yourself
Enjoy yourself with me

You better enjoy yourself
You better enjoy yourself

You sittin over there
Starin into his face
While people are dancin'
Dancin all over the place

You shouldnt worry about things you can't control
Come on girl while the night is young
Why dont ya mix up the place, let it go

[Chorus]

Let's have some fun
Let's have a good time you and me
Sittin there with your mouth all out
Just sweet as you can be

Why dontcha live, live the life ya got
Come on girl let's spin it
While the music's live and hot..whoo!

[Chorus]

Jackie: Baby girl I've been watchin you?
I want what im waitin for
For you and I to get together

We can tear the house down
Or we can tear the house down
Or we can tear the whole house down..whoo!

Can You Remember

Can you remember (can you remember)
When we were babies (babies)
We were always together
When we were in kindergarten (kindergarten)

But now that you are grown
So girl you left me all alone
And you know I'll never find
No one to call my own
So girl, I love you
Don't you know I love you (don't you know I love you)

(I sure do, like for you)
Like for you (to remember if you can)
Hey, can you remember
(the time we had and the time we shared)
And the time we shared
(sitting together in the grass)
For the grass there

Can you remember (can you remember)
When we were babies (babies)
We were always together
And our love had no end (had no end)

The sunny skies are blue
So girl, you know that I love you
And I'll always promise you
That this is what I'll do
So girl, I love you, I love you
Don't you know I love you

(I sure do, like for you)
Like for you (to remember if you can)
Hey, can you remember
(the time we had and the time we shared)
And the time we shared
(sitting together in the grass)
Can you remember (I sure do, like for you)
Like for you (to remember if you can)
The time we had (the time we had)
And the time we shared (and the time we shared)
We should've never left playing in the grass

I Found That Girl

Mama, oh Mama
I found that girl
Mama, oh Mama
I found that girl

Mama, life for me now
Is a new sensation
Just like you said it would be
With the right situation
Now love has a meaning
And I have a goal
This feeling inside me now
Makes yesterday a hundred years old
Now I understand
What it is to be a man
The way you explained it to me that day
You said only the right girl
Can make me feel this way

Mama, I think I found that girl
Yeah, Mama, I think I found that girl

Mama, she's that beautiful dream
That I dream each night
She's that bird of love
On whose wings I'm in flight
She's those words left
When there's no more to say
She's my sunshine
At the end of a perfect day

All this lets me find a reason to be alive
That day when you set me upon your knee
You said only the right girl
Could be all these things

Mama, I think I found that girl
Yeah, Mama I think I found that girl

You said, "Son, go on and search around
There's a good girl whose out there to be found"
And Mama I think I found that girl
Yeah, Mama I think I found that girl

Mama's Pearl

You send cold chills up and down my spine
We kiss for thrills, then you draw the line oh baby (oh baby)
Cause your mama told you that love ain't right
But don't you know that lovin' is the spice of life, yeah.

[Chorus:]
Mama's pearl, let down those curls
Let me give my love a whirl
Find what you been missing (what you been missing)
Ooh ooh now baby

Goody girl, let down those curls
Let me give your heart a twirl
Don't keep me wishin' (keep me wishin')
(Bum ba bum ba bum ba bum bum
bum ba bum ba bum ba bum bum bum
bum ba bum ba bum ba bum bum
Bum ba bum ba bum ba bum bum bum)

You want my lovin' yes you do do do (Yes you do, I know you do)
Know my lovin' is true true true now baby (Oh baby)
But your conscience tells you that love is wrong (Love is wrong, ooh)
But don't you know that lovin' never hurt no one, oh.

[Chorus]

Let it all hang out (Girl don't be afraid
Oh we've got the first step made
Ooh, the rest is up to you
Here is what you do, let yourself go)
Let yourself just go, now now now
Let your lovin' flow, now now now
Just give it to me
(Cause I've got what you need)
Got what you need
Let's fall in love, let's fall in love
Find out what you're missing
Goody girl, let down your curls
Let me give your heart a twirl
Why don't you give my love a whirl
Girl don't be afraid
Oh we've got the first step made
Just give in, just give in to me
Cause I've got what you need
Got what you need
(Let's fall in love, let's fall in love
Let yourself go)
Let yourself just go, let your lovin' flow
Just give it to me
(Cause I've got what you need got what you need)
(Mama's pearl, don't be afraid
Let's fall in love, let's fall in love
Daddy's girl we've got it made
Let's fall in love, let's fall in love)
Find out what you been missing sugar
Goody goody goody girl
(Mama's pearl, don't be afraid
Let's fall in love, let's fall in love
Daddy's girl we've got it made
Let's fall in love, let's fall in love)

Reach In

Can't find no rhyme to it all
But still we keep on trying
The why and where of it all
Inside you the answer is lying

Reach in (reach in)
Find that tree of wisdom
Reach in (reach in)
Find out why you're livin'

Reach in (reach in)
Put away that shade of sin
And let love shine in...
And let love shine in...
Shine, shine, shine, shine...

Don't take the easy way out
Believe there is a Maker
Don't be a body of doubt
In whom does live a faker

Reach in (reach in)
Find that tree of wisdom
Reach in (reach in)
Find out why you're livin'

Reach in (reach in)
Put away that shade of sin
And let love shine in...
And let love shine in...

A soul without love
Is a soul without meaning
And the Lord up above
He'll destroy every being

Reach in...

Reach in (reach in)
Find that tree of wisdom
Reach in (reach in)
Find out why you're livin'

The Christmas Song

Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to... you
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos

Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight

They know that Santa's on his way
He's bringing lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is on the spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly

And so, I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Though it has been said many times, many ways

Merry Christmas (Merry Christmas)
Merry Christmas (Merry Christmas)
Merry Christmas to... you

Maybe Tomorrow

I don't know how many stars there are
Up in the heavenly sky
I only know my heaven it's here on earth
Each time you look into my eyes
The way you do, baby
Thank you, thank you, baby

My beautiful bird you have flown away
I held you too tight I can see
You're all I need to get by
No one else could make me cry
The way you do, baby

You are the book that I read each day
You are the song that I sing
Gonna sing it to you
You are the four seasons of my life
But maybe tomorrow
You'll change your mind, girl

Maybe tomorrow
You'll come back to my arms, girl

You're all I need to get by
No one else could make me cry
The way you do, baby

You are the book that I read each day
You are the song that I sing
Gonna sing it to you
You are the four seasons of my life
But maybe tomorrow
You'll change your mind, girl
Maybe tomorrow
You'll come back to my arms

You are the book that I read each day
You are the song that I sing
You are the four seasons of my life
But maybe tomorrow
You'll change your mind, girl
Maybe tomorrow
You'll come back to my arms

Baby I need you
Listen to me girl

Skywriter

[Chorus:]
Skywriter
Sweep your silver pen,
Across the sky so high

Skywriter
Won't you write the biggest
I love you
Cross the sky

She don't read the letters
I write anymore
Sorry I upset her
But I wasn't sure
Now I know I love her
I hope that she will see
A message high above her
That you write for me, yeah.

[Chorus]

Hey hey
Send a box of cande
And flowers every day
Still she wouldn't listen
Her pride got in the way

Now it's up to you
It won't fade away
Write it on the heavens
Love will make it stay, yeah

World Of Sunshine

It feels alright, the grass is high
Live your life before it passes by

Travel the road of the country side
From city to city we're taking a ride

World of sunshine, bright shades of gold
It's time to be happy for the young and old
World of sunshine, world of sunshine

Come with me, there's so much to see
There's people to meet and places you should be

When you get tired you can always find
Hey, hey, hey, a mile to rest, carry a sign

World of sunshine, bright shades of gold
It's time to be happy for the young and old

Travel the road of the country side
From city to city, we're taking a ride

World of sunshine, bright shades of gold
It's time to be happy for the young and old

World of sunshine, bright shades of gold
It's time to be happy for the young and old

World of sunshine, bright shades of gold
